Summary: Set in S5E10 "Fifty Shades of Grayson." What if Nadia came back to be with her mother? What if Elena was there in that last Katherine scene? Will she save Katherine's life, or will she let human Katherine die?572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3holctWp
It was a dark night as Katherine Pierce spoke on the phone with her long lost daughter, Nadia Petrova, in the boarding house on the landing of the stairs, duffel bag slung over her right shoulder, getting ready to head down the rest of the stairs, ready to leave to go find a Traveler to help her live longer.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvWbJaXc7d
"I'm Katherine Pierce. I'm a survivor," she reminded her daughter, when Nadia questioned her of if she was actually ready to try it.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflX08eYHZp
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on the left side of her chest and the duffel bag and phone dropped to the landing, as she leaned against the railing and tried to breathe. She didn't know what was going on, but she had a guess that she was probably dying.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b5qe22LN2
"Katherine?" Nadia called over and over again on the phone, hearing her trying to breathe.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYc5DAPPf
This is it, Katherine thought, as her vision went blurry.
Elena was sobbing on the couch in the living room after arguing with Damon, when she heard everything that was happening to Katherine on the stairs.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSezWfglhqW
A moment later, she was knelt by the former vampiress whom lay on her back, trying to breathe.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ih9lAo3gJ
As her vision narrowed, Katherine vaguely heard Elena and Nadia, but couldn't verbally say anything.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFVz94cFe3
"Katherine, hang in there," Elena encouraged her gently, realizing what was happening. She then told Nadia on the phone, "Katherine's going to have to call you back."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7S662Pvdn
"What's going on?" Nadia asked, but feared the worse.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCEz5bmN9I
"She's having a heart attack," Elena answered her.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3y86mRzJt
"I'm on my way," Nadia said, before hanging up, deciding to go back to be with her mother.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiovjd2bGH
The last thing Kat saw in her mind was Elijah, before everything went black for her.
A few minutes later, Elena was at the hospital, watching the doctors rush her down the hall to help her.
A few hours later, Elena and Nadia were in the hospital room waiting for her to awaken. Elena was seated in a chair by her bed, while Nadia was seated on her bedside, Nadia's hand in her mother's.
When Kat awoke, she saw that she was in a hospital room, Nadia on her bedside and Elena by the bed.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvj0UhLUCJ
She smiled at her daughter, grateful that she was there.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMRKu9uz01
She turned her head to look at her descendant.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVY4vN5lw4
"Thanks. You saved my life."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAGHsg0cey
"Well, you're just luck I was there. Get better. I should go home. I'll check in with you later," Elena replied, before getting to her feet and leaving the room, closing the door behind herself.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMe9OVwYUj
They watched her go, before looking at each other.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8X9kWF5f
"Thanks for being here. You don't know how happy that makes me feel."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Y4yZZI1n
"Of course I'm here. You're my mother," Nadia replied.
